Shutts & Bowen reshuffled the deck at its headquarters site in Orlando with a 15-year lease that includes the entire top floor of the 16-story building in downtown.

The law firm previously had the ninth and 10th floors and opted to keep the entire lower floor and expand to the 16th floor “to create a more efficient, collaborative and attractive workspace,” according to a release by Foundry Commercial. Jeff Patterson, who recently joined the real estate brokerage, represented the law firm. Catherine Reeves, of Highwoods Properties, represented the landlord.

Built in 2000, the Plaza has 246,000 square feet and was about 82 percent occupied when Highwoods Properties Inc. purchased it in 2015.

Foundry hired interior designer Rob Blakeslee to design the space, which includes an oak-canopied lobby, 1,850 square feet of conference space and lounge area and a 30-foot vaulted ceiling.

The law firm’s move was also designed to promote employee productivity, recruitment and retention, according to a statement.
